Hollow concrete pier and cistern for city water
A plan to replace the wooden protecting pier under the Mississippi draw bridge with a concrete hollow pier and cistern will be considered by the bridge water and finance committees. A 50 000 dollar project would supply purer city water via a new intake from the ground and a 30 inch pipe, with tests to confirm water quality before execution.
